The Legendary Band Nirvana

(kurt Cobain: Vocals & Guitar. Dave Grohl: Drums. Krist Novoselic: Bass)



Nirvana Is One Of The Best Grunge Bands Of 90’s Who Impressed Millions Of Teenagers And Sold Millions Of Albums. Cobain’s Performance And Style Carried Them Up To A High Point.



Kurt Cobain Watched A Concert Of Beatles When He Was Just 6 And Decided What To Do During The Rest Of His Life. From That Time On His Goal Was To Be Like John Lennon.



He Was No Longer Happy After His Parents Got Divorced. He Lost All His Happiness And Started To See The Bad Sides Of The Life. ın One Of His Interviews He Said That That He Couldn’t Believe That The Divorce Wasn’t His Mistake For Long Years. He Had Difficult Days And Became So Self-conscious That He Didn’t Hear The Separation Of Beatles For A Long Time.



When He Was 11, He Left His Father’s House Due To His Father’s Second Marriage. Crying His Mother On The Phone To Take Him With Her, He Lived With His Grandmother And Aunts. At The Age Of 14 His Uncle Bought Him His First Guitar As A Birthday Gift And He Brought Him The Cassettes Of Some Famous Punk Bands. 3 Years Later, He Sold His Mother’s Shotguns, Which Had Been Thrown By His Mother To The River. Then He Bought His First Guitar Amfi But When His Mother Noticed This She Got Furious. After Having An Argument, Kurt Left Home. He Had Narcolepsy, Which Is A Sickness That Makes People Fall Asleep Suddenly.



ın 1985, He Met His Best Friend Krist Novoselic While He Was Searching For A Good Friend. The Following Year, They Establish The Band “nırvana”. Their First Album “bleach” Was Introduced In 1989. Until 1990, They Play With Many Drummers But In 1990, Dave Grohl Joined The Group As A Drummer And The Group Was Completed.



They Made A Big Sortie With Their Second Album “nevermind”. ın The Beginning, They Made A 48 000 But In Two Months The Album Was Sold 500 000 Only In America. They Made A Single For Smells Like Teen Spirit And They Entered The Billboard In Ten. Mtv Put The Single In Heavy Rotation And Showed The Video 20 Times A Day. Smells Like Teen Spirit Became The Hymn Of The Lost Generation Of 90’s.



But He Had A Grave Stomach Ache So He Had To Have A Treatment For Some Time. After A Few Months, Kurt Returned And Sang In The Most Important Rock Festival, Reading, As Headliner.



ın December 15, 1992, Geffen Records Introduced ıncesticide, Which Has B-sides, Rarities And Covers Without The Approval Of The Band. On September 20, 1993, The Introduced Their Third Album ın Utero. ın The Same Year On November 18, They Gave An Acoustic Concert At Mtv’s Unplugged. They Made Cover Besides Their Own Songs.



They Gave A Concert In Milano On February 19, 1994. That Was The Last Concert Of Nirvana Because Kurt Cancelled The Following Concerts In Germany.







The Beginning Of The End



On March 3, Kurt Took Excessive Amount Of Medicine With Champagne. Then He Went Into A Coma. There Was A Note Of Suicide Beside Him. On March18, He Again Committed A Suicide, By Luck He Got Off Lightly. But On April 8, When The Electricity Came To The Cobain’s House, He Saw Something Lying On The Floor Like A Mannequin Of Tailor. However He Noticed That It Was Kurt’s Dead Body. He Committed A Suicide With His Shotgun On April 5.



That News Shocked All Around The World. Everybody Was Coming To Seattle. On April 10, There Was A Ceremony Prepared For Nirvana Fans Where People Burned Candles. That Was The Biggest Ceremony In The City After John Lennon. ın The Ceremony Love Courtney (his Wife) Read The Letter Of Suicide. His Last Words Were “ıt's Better To Burn Out Then To Fade Away. Peace, Love, Empathy ı Love You, ı Love You.”



After A Few Days Kurt’s Body Was Burned. Love, O’connor (his Mother), Krist Decided To Distribute The Ashes Secretly. They Wrote “poet And Musician” In His Death Certificate. After Cobain’s Death Albums Of Nirvana Started The Rise Up In Billboards. And Again The Albums Of Nirvana Started To Sell Hundred Thousand Each Day.



Unbelievable But Real



-when Kurt Was Singing Smells Like Teen Spirit On Tv (top Of The Pops) He Changed The Lyrics. The Original Version: Load Up On Guns And Bring Your Friends

Changed Version: Load Up On Drugs And Kill Your Friends

-he Got Lots Of Bursary From Academy Of Fine Arts But He Spilled Acid On All Of Them And Sent Back

-his Mother Was A Waitress In A Bar. When They Didn’t Own A House, They Were Sleeping At The Park.

-ın His Adolescence, His Great Fun Was To Write Queer (argo: Homosexual) On The Trucks. And Also Making Graphite Was The First Reason For His Arrest.

-ın One Of His Interviews, Interviewer Asked If He Had Ever Had Too Much Pain, Anger And Boredom To Commit Suicide. He Answered “yes, During The Last 5 Years ı Had Stomach Problems. ı Wanted To Kill Myself Everyday. ı Tried Many Times But ı Was Lucky. ı’m So Sorry To Be Sensible And Direct About This Topic But ı Had Come To A Point Where ı Was Lying On Floor Throwing Up Air Instead Of Water In My Stomach. And Then ı Had To Make A Show For Twenty Minutes. After ı Finished The Small Concert Every Time That ı Coughed Blood Came From My Stomach. They Were Disgusting Days. ı Couldn’t Stand A Life Like That. ı Love Making And Playing Music. But Something Went Wrong Then ı Decided To Treat Myself.”



Maybe The Reason Of His Suicide Was The Pain Of Stomach. Who Knows? But The Truth Is There Were Lots Of Things In His Life, Which Didn’t Work As The Clock. ın His Lyrics He Talked About The Problems In His Life.



The Theme Of All Apologies Is A Marriage, Which Comes To The End. ın Pennyroyal Tea, He Talked About His Pain Of Stomach, Which Was His Reason To Start To Use Drugs. Lithium Is The Name Of A Psychological Medicine That Changes People’s Psychology And Makes Them Normal. About A Girl, Tells Us A Story Searching For A Real Friend. The Bridge, Which Is Told In Something ın The Way, Is On The Wishkah River Called North Aberdeen Bridge. Kurt Was Sleeping Under This Bridge When He Couldn’t Find Any Place To Sleep. There Could Be Some Graphites Of Kurt On The Column Of That Bridge.



Any Way Kurt Was A Great Poet And Musician. He Played His Drama In Front Of The Spectator And Couldn’t Reach The Happy End Like Other Grunge Bands. ıf This Great Talent That Had An Enormous Popularity Didn’t Pass Away, We Can’t Imagine What Other Musics He Could Have Composed.
